Venues
We’ve grown! This year we need two separate venues to accommodate the workshops and conference. They’re very close to one another, and equally convenient to a range of hotels in the Darling Harbour area. But if you are attending both workshops on the 25th and 26th and then the conference on the 27th and 28th, take note of each venue.
Conference and Expo Venue
Web Directions South and Web Expo South will be held in Darling Harbour at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, on Level 1 of the Convention Centre Parkside.

Workshops Venue
All the workshops, on September 25th and 26th, take place at the Powerhouse Museum. The Powerhouse Museum is 10 minutes walk from Central Station, located on the monorail, or a short walk from Darling Harbour. It is less than 5 minutes walk from the conference location, so hotels which are convenient to one location will be convenient to both.

Hotels
Darling Harbour is close to the heart of Sydney. Any hotels in the CBD will be at most a 15 to 20 minute walk through the city. To be really close to the conference venue though you will want to stay somewhere in Darling Harbour itself. We have a discount code for the Novotel, Ibis and Grand Mercure – see below for details
Some standard suggestions
- Novotel Darling Harbour
- Ibis Darling Harbour Hotel
- Grand Mercure Apartments Darling Harbour
- Crowne Plaza
- Four Points by Sheraton

And a couple of cheap and cheerfuls.
